.50 cal armed Universal Carriers

[John McGillivray]

The photo below shows how the Canadians in NWE mounted their .50 cals on their carriers. (7th recce Regt.)

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Have merged pics of .30 or .50 cal armed carriers I found on this forum to this thread.

Here's one more, don't know when this was taken or which unit is depicted. One can imagine an MG had to be moved to the top of the armour with all that stowage on the front of the carrier...

2. Mount that was used/modified (to use) the M2HMG or 1919 up front. (see pics)
